DHI hair transplant side effects and precautions
Hair transplantation surgeries are relatively safe and rarely cause complications. DHI and FUE are less invasive than FUT because they don’t require a surgeon to cut a large strip of skin.
Many companies claim that FUE techniques are scarless, however, they still do cause a series of tiny scars from the removal of individual follicles. These scars are usually not noticeable.
Here are a few potential complications of DHI surgery.
- Negative reaction to anesthesia
During DHI, local anesthesia will be applied to your scalp to numb it. Anesthesia is generally safe, but it may cause negative reactions in some people.
The overwhelming majority of reactions are related to fear or anxiety and not a topical sensitivity to the anesthesia.
- Infection
It’s possible to develop an infection either at the donor site or at the area where hair follicles are implanted. Serious infections are rare and occur in less than 1 percentTrusted Source of hair implantation surgeries.
- Shock hair loss
Shock hair loss can occur within 2 months of surgery. It refers to a temporary hair loss at the site of the hair transplant. A full recovery is almost always made in 3 to 4 months.
- Undesired appearance
When the hair follicles are grafted, they should be aligned in a way that mimics your natural hair growth. If the follicles are implanted poorly, it can lead to an appearance you’re unsatisfied with.
To give you the best chance of achieving pleasing results, it’s a good idea to research surgeons in your area before you have the surgery. Check before-and-after results of previous clients and get in touch with other clients of that surgeon to help you make a decision.
- Other complications
Other potential complications of hair transplant surgeries include:
- bleeding
- dizziness
- pain
- increased heart rate
- inflammation of hair follicles
- sparse appearance around donor site
- scarring
DHI - MODERN HAIR TRANSPLANT TECHNOLOGY
DHI (Direct Hair Implant) is a method of "direct hair implantation". Its popularity is due to the rapid survival of transplanted follicles and high accuracy.
The main tool in such an operation is an implanter or, in other words, a needle. This device resembles a pen, but similar in principle to a syringe, having a sharp tip with a small reservoir for the bulb and a piston. By pressing the piston, the doctor pushes the bulb under the skin at an angle of 40-45°.

Our Team
Mustafa Yilmaz
My vision of hair transplantation is totally in line with this perspective: to be at the service of regained well-being through effective techniques that give natural results. The hair, in women of course, but in men, it is the force of life, it is the finery. Losing them is truly an injury, a trauma. It’s terrible!
Also, I enjoy listening to my patients and never judging them. I am then able to give them the best advice and allow them to regain their self-confidence.
I naturally surrounded myself with a caring, expert and extremely rigorous team in its field to be sure to offer men and women who suffer from baldness solutions that work, without ever ignoring safety and reliability.
The used techniques depend on Dr. Mustafa Yilmaz decision after doing the medical diagnosis, Choi Pen / DHI - Sapphire - Micro FUE are used normally in our operations.
Emine Karabash
I started dermatology almost 15 years ago now and thanks to my encounters with other dermatologists, I quickly turned to medical aesthetics.
More and more women and men want to feel good about their hair, and when this is the case, one gains confidence in oneself, in everyday life, in social life and in work.
I have also always remained "classic", in this movement that is now called the "Soft touch", namely to privilege discretion, elegance, and of course, naturalness. Not ostentatious! I prefer to repair what is damaged, rather than change or modify.
The used techniques depend on Dr Emine’s decision after doing the medical diagnosis, Choi Pen / DHI - Sapphire - Micro FUE are used normally in our operations.
